Results Accountability ranks better than Logic Model, Balanced Scorecard and Six Sigma on complexity of language and readability.
It is hard to find objective evidence that one management, planning or budgeting framework is easier to use than another. Most of what's out there is anecdotal at best and usually pure self promotion. In the interest of honesty, this site is about promoting Results Accountability as the best available framework. The attached analysis shows that the Results Accountability book, Trying Hard Is Not Good Enough, is significantly better than leading books on Logic Model and Balanced Scorecard, and Six Sigma, when it comes to complexity of language and readability. The field needs a serious comparison of frameworks by a Consumer Reports type organization. But in the mean time, this comparison sheds light on some of what you need to know to make an informed choice.       March, 2007


What you need to know about Privatization:

When government-delivered services are contracted out to for-profit and/or nonprofit providers, it is called “privatization.” While this method has been part of the government landscape for many years, elected officials and government managers often don’t know the basics of when privatization is appropriate and how to make it work. This short paper gives you a candid summary of what you need to know.   February, 2007
